Translating trade partnerships into meaningful opportunities for people across India. 🇮🇳 The multiple FTAs concluded in recent years have opened immense opportunities for our exporters. The Modi Government's focus is on ensuring these benefits reach our farmers, workers, women, youth, MSMEs & small businesses, enabling them to take more Made in India products to global markets. To help them make the most of these opportunities, the @DoC_GoI is organising dedicated FTA outreach initiatives in collaboration with State Governments. Appreciate Goa CM @DrPramodPSawant ji's participation in the event & his efforts to encourage local businesses to explore new export markets. More such initiatives will be organised across the country to help every state unlock its unique export potential, ensure greater utilisation of our FTAs & give fresh momentum to India's export growth.

Engineered, designed, and manufactured in Maharashtra, the iconic JCB makes its way to New Zealand! 🇮🇳🇳🇿 #IndiaNewZealandFTA

New Zealand will now build with a 'Made in India' JCB machine! Proud to flag off the first-ever JCB machine export to New Zealand, made in Pune, Maharashtra. The #IndiaNewZealandFTA is unlocking new opportunities for our manufacturing. 🇮🇳🇳🇿 @ShelarAshish @JitinPrasada

Tomorrow, on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, India & New Zealand will begin a new chapter in their economic partnership as the #IndiaNewZealandFTA comes into force. Truly a 'Vijay' for both nations! 🇮🇳🇳🇿 Partnerships of this significance are built on strong leadership & a shared commitment to turning aspirations into opportunities. The vision of PM @NarendraModi ji & New Zealand PM Mr. @ChrisLuxonMP has made this historic agreement possible, opening new avenues for our people to grow & prosper together. I thank my friend, New Zealand Trade Minister Mr. @ToddMcClayMP, & the negotiating teams of both countries for their sustained efforts. From the launch of negotiations in March last year to entry into force tomorrow, this journey reflects mutual trust & a commitment to delivering a balanced, mutually beneficial agreement. With duty-free access for 100% of Indian exports to New Zealand, the FTA will unlock significant opportunities for MSMEs, farmers, women, youth & labour-intensive sectors. It also opens new pathways for our professionals, while safeguarding India's core interests. Our farmers will gain wider market access for fruits, vegetables, spices & other agricultural produce, alongside cooperation to improve productivity, support higher incomes & strengthen livelihoods. Sensitive sectors, including dairy, remain protected, keeping farmers' welfare at the heart of our approach. New Zealand's commitment to facilitate USD 20 billion in investment into India holds immense potential to strengthen manufacturing, infrastructure, services & innovation, supporting enterprise & employment. As we embark on this promising journey tomorrow, I extend my best wishes to our exporters, businesses, MSMEs & entrepreneurs. I encourage them to make full use of this agreement, build lasting partnerships & translate its potential into tangible gains for our people. Confident that this win-win partnership will achieve many more milestones, guided by our shared vision of growth & mutual prosperity.

At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum's session on 'Self-Sufficiency Scramble,' I spoke about India's commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat while actively pursuing trusted global partnerships. Along with my co-panelists, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade & Industry of Singapore, Mr. Gan Kim Yong, Minister of International Trade for Canada, Mr. Maninder Sidhu, and Mr. Yuvraj Narayan, Global CEO of DP World, I underlined the critical need for trust in global collaborations to be able to build resilient supply chains and ensure that the future that is increasingly driven by technology, can be leveraged for the benefit of all. 📹youtu.be/zCkBCN7nyyI
